I’ve searched for this and most things seem to speak about loaders…but lets say I have a new MovieClip generated purely from actionscript, and it’s visual content is just some circles, squares, etc. that I added using the drawing class and maybe adding other MovieClips to it’s stage…

var logo = new MovieClip();  
draw a buncha crap…add other movieclips to it…etc etc.

Now I want duplicate it…how?! It doesn’t seem possible.
